Skydive Elsinore, Perris, San Diego, all within an hour of each other. Elsinore is sometimes closed on Tuesdays unless groups are in (there is a large group scheduled in May), plus the boogie...) Perris and Elsinore have bunkhouses, close to other attractions too. Both are school-based, so great places to learn from highly experienced people.

Oceanside is in that same circle, but it's not a DZ for newbies (unless Grimmie has changed things up a bit).

Either Perris or Elsinore. Perris has a pool which rocks when it's hot out there. If your goal is to make as many jumps as possible while keeping the cost down, then go to Lodi. Can't beat $18 jump tickets.

We now host USPA B license jumpers and their foreign equivalent.

We pick up jumpers from San Diego Airport or Orange County. We have a hotel a few blocks from the DZ that provides a clean room and breakfast for $50 night. We have a nice beach and harbor a mile from the DZ. Sorry, no gear store, yet.

Come out West and hit four great DZ's within about 120 miles of each other!
